Will this header work with my factory exhaust?

Yes, the outlet is designed to match factory downstream piping. You may need to verify fitment with your complete exhaust setup before final installation.

Do I need to use sealant or gaskets when installing this?

Use a quality exhaust gasket at the header-to-engine flange. Whether you apply high-temp sealant to the gasket is up to you — many builders use gasket alone and get solid results.

What tools do I need to install this header?

You'll need basic hand tools — wrenches and sockets to remove the factory manifold and bolt on the header. Some tight spots may require a breaker bar. A hoist or jack is strongly recommended for underbody access.
